![]() And I happen to love black and white photos, so win, win! And since I like to change out the photos in my frames, it makes more sense for me to go with the inexpensive engineering prints. ![]() The look of the engineering print is so much better than I thought it would be. ![]() But I thought it was nice of them to ask! I declined since I was using the engineering print as more of a “template” to get the size and space worked out with the frame before shelling out the big bucks on a higher quality photo. Office Max did call and ask if I wanted them to print the photo using a photo printer and photo paper. Then I traced around the outside edge of the mat with a pencil.Īll that was left to do was cut on that pencil line. I placed the mat on the photo moved it until I had her face inside one of the rectangles. That’s why I ordered the print in a size way bigger than the size of the frame. Cost: $3.90īecause I wanted my daughter’s face to fall within one of the “panes” of the mat, I needed enough “play” room with the photograph. I went online to Office Max and ordered a black and white engineering print and it was ready in about an hour. I intentionally made the print bigger than I needed. I made sure to check Constrain Proportion and the width became 36″. I opened the photo in Photo Shop Elements and changed the height of the photo to 24″. I knew I needed to use a landscape oriented photo since I wanted to hang the frame horizontally versus vertically. Photos enlarged to the size I needed can be fairly pricey so I had the photo printed as a black and white engineering print at my local Office Max on 27# paper.įirst I chose the photo that I wanted to use. The frame is fairly large (12″ x 30″) so I would need a big photo. I like that it has the appearance of looking through an 8-pane window. Here’s a peek at one of the projects I’ll be demonstrating: How to Use One Photo in a Collage Frame.Įven though the ORKENED frame is designed to hold eight photos, I thought it would be fun to try something different. There will be demonstrations, food samplings, drawings for prizes and freebies! I’ll be there demonstrating creative ways to use picture frames. I am thrilled to be participating in the BYOF (bring your friend) Event at the Ikea store in Baltimore, Maryland this Saturday.
